"Yes. terday Sir Robert went to Court to pay his respects to the Emperor, and afterwards he made two or three visits to private friends; on arriving at his house, about three in the afternoon, the servant, on opening the door of the carriage, perceived that his master was holding himself in, and that he moved to the door with difficulty; but, before he could descend the steps, fell down from the effect of an apoplectie stroke, and was carried up stairs; he took a little water, soon after which consciousness ceased, and he expired at 8 o'clock this morning." He was buried in the English quarter of a Russian cemetery, and his funeral was most numerously attended.

Hall was appointed by his patron to command the Lynx sloop of war, but his commission does not appear to have been confirmed by the Admiralty till Jan. 1796: previously to which he had been superseded by another officer, on whose demise in October following, he was re-appointed to that vessel. Among the captures made by Capt. Hall whilst in the Lynx were La Solide, L'Isabelle, and Le Mentor, French privateers, the latter carrying 14 guns and 79 men. The capture of La Solide was considered by the merchants and inhabitants of St. John's, Newfoundland, as a service of great importance, and they sent Capt. Hall a letter of thanks. Capt.

He was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn, Nov. 18, 1780. At the general election of 1790 he was returned to Parliament for the borough of Newark, and he was re-chosen in 1796, 1797, and 1802. In July 1797 he was made one of the Welsh judges. In 1800 he was appointed Solicitor-General to the Prince of Wales. In the discharge of his duties in that capacity, he introduced to the House of Commons the claims of the Prince on the Duchy of Cornwall, on which occasion his exertions were highly approved by Pitt and Fox. In 1802 he was made Solicitor-General to the King, and received the honour of knighthood, on the 19th May. The following year he acted as one of the official accusers of Col. Des pard-a duty be discharged without acrimony or exaggeration. In Jan. 1805 he succeeded Sir Beaumont Hotham as one of the Barons of the Exchequer; and April 14, 1807, he was called to the Upper House by the title of Baron

Manners, of Foston. Immediately after, he was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, which office he held until the autumn of 1827; when he retired with respect and affection of the legal profession in that country, manifested by their addresses and a magnificent testimonial. Lord Manners was characterised by a kindness, generosity, and singleness of heart, which disarmed animosity, and attracted universal esteem. Lord Manners married, firstly, Nov. 4, 1803, Anne, daughter of the late Sir Joseph Copley, Bart. ; who died without issue May 5, 1814; secondly, Oct. 28, 1815, the Hon. Jane Butler, daughter of James eleventh Lord Caher, and sister to the Earl of Glengall.

JUNE.

3. At Breton House near Exeter, in his 86th year. The Right Hon. John Rolle Baron Rolle of Stevenstone, co. Devon, and Colonel of the South Devon Militia. He was descended from an ancient Devonshire family, and was born October 16, 1750, the only son of Denys Rolle, esq., by Anne daughter of Arthur Chichester, esq., of Hall. He was first returned to Parliament for the co. of Devon in 1779, and succeeded to his estates on the death of his father in 1797. He was in politics a zealous adherent of Mr. Pitt and the Tory party, and a strenuous opponent of Mr. Fox's India Bill in 1783, and took so warm a part in the discussion of the Regency Bill of 1789, that he proposed an amendment in the marriage clause, stigmatizing by name as unlawful the Prince of Wales's union with Mrs. Fitzherbert. He was raised to the dignity of a Peer by patent dated June 20, 1796. He seconded the address to the King on the opening of the Parliament of 1807. He voted in the majority against the Reform Bill, which caused the temporary resignation of Earl Grey's ministry, May, 7, 1832; and he continued to the last a firm Conservative. In his own county Lord Rolle was chiefly distinguished by his princely liberality to public and charitable purposes. He gave 1,0007, to the fund for the relief of the Irish clergy, 1,000/. towards es

tablishing a chaplaincy in the Devon and Exeter Hospital, 500l. to the Lunatic Asylum, &c. &c. When a new church was erected in a distant part of the parish of Ilfracombe, called Lea, besides presenting a handsome screen, his Lordship had subscribed 2007. and when the church was completed, being informed that 9007. was wanted to defray the expense, he immediately gave a cheque for the amount. His Lordship was twice married but had no issue, and the title is extinct.

At the Hall, Berkhampstead, aged 57, the Right Hon. Mark, sixteenth Lord Somerville, (created 1424) in the peerage of Scotland. He was the third son of Lieut.-Col. the Hon. Hugh Somerville; and the eldest by his second marriage with Mary daughter of the Hon. Wriothesley Digby. He was formerly an officer in the Royal Artillery. He succeeded to the peerage on the death of his half-brother John in 1819; and, having died unmar ried, is succeeded by his next brother Kenelm, a Capt. R. Ñ.

Stafford, Registrar-Gen. of Births, Deaths, and Marriages; maternal uncle to Lord Ribblesdale, and brother-in-law to the Earl of Clarendon and Lord John Russell. He was the eldest son of Thomas Lister, esq., (who died in 1828,) cousin-german to Thomas first Lord Ribblesdale, and the only child by his first wife Har riett Anne, daughter of John Seale, esq., of Mountboone, co. Devon. His father, and his grandfather Nathaniel Lister, esq., of Armitage, near Lichfield, were both writers of poetry, and their names occur in the works of their neighbour Miss Seward.

Councillor; grandfather of the Marquess of Drogheda, and of the Earl of Darnley. Lord Congleton was born on the 3rd July 1776, and was the second son of the Right Hon. Sir John Parnell, the second Baronet, and Chancellor of the Exchequer in Ireland, by Letitia Charlotte, second daughter and coheir of the Right Hon. Sir Arthur Brooke, of Colebrooke, co. Fermanagh, Bart. His elder brother was unhappily born a cripple, and never had the use of speech; and the estates were consequently settled upon Henry, by a special act of Parliament passed in 1789. In consequence, the late Lord Congleton succeeded to his patrimonial estates on the death of his father in 1801, and subsequently to the title of Baronet, on his brother's death in 1812. He was first returned to Parliament at the general election of 1802 for the borough of Portarlington; but he did not on that occasion keep his seat, making way on the 8th of December following, for the late Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt by accepting the office of Escheator of Munster. Early in his parliamentary career, he distinguished himself on the questions of the Corn-laws and Catholic Emancipation, and he also published several pamphlets on those and other political subjects. He was chairman of the Finance Committee in the session of 1828. His motion in 1830, on the propriety of inquiring into the state of the Civil List, led to the dissolution of the Wellington administration. He afterwards sat for Queen's co. for twenty-seven years and subsequently represented Dundee. He was created a Peer by the title of Lord Congleton, August 11, 1841. The manner of his death (unhappily by his own hand during a fit of temporary insanity) will be found detailed in the CHRONICLE.

He succeeded his father September 15, 1828, and is succeeded by his nephew John Creighton, esq., who has been for the last two years Lord Lieut, of the co. Fermanagh.

12. At Rugby, within one day of

completing his 47th year, the Rev. Thomas Arnold, D.D. Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford, and Head Master of Rugby School. Dr. Arnold was borne at Cowes, Isle of Wight, and was the son of the late William Arnold, esq., collector of his Majesty's Customs at that port. He was educated at Winchester School, and from thence went to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he took a first class in Classics, in Easter term, 1814, and the degree of B.A. October 27 in the same year. In 1815, he gained the prize for an English Essay, subject, "The effects of Distant Colonization on the Parent State;" and July 20, same year, was elected Fellow of Oriel College. In 1817, he gained the Latin Essay, subject, "Quam vim habeat ad informandos juvenum animos poetarum lectio?" June 19, same year he took the degree of M.A. He vacated his fellowship, by marriage, about 1822. He was appointed Head Master of Rugby in 1828, and took the degree of B.D. March 29, and D.D. December 17, in the same year. On the death of Dr. Nares, in 1841, Dr. Arnold was ap pointed by her Majesty Regius Professor of Modern History. There were many competitors for the Mastership of Rugby School, several of them men of high qualifications, and also supported by the interest of men of rank. The trustees, however, resolved, very much to their credit, to lay aside all other considerations, and appoint the man who should appear on the whole to be the best adapted to the situation; and Dr. Arnold was elected. In every respect he justified their choice, and under his able superintendence Rugby has been rasied to the very highest level among the public schools of England. He was much beloved by his pupils, and many of them have greatly distinguished themselves at the Universities. Most admirable were the discourses he used to deliver in Rugby Chapel, clear, yet full of valuable matter, and simple, yet impressively eloquent, speaking at once both to the understanding and to the heart. But his best sermon to his hearers was his life. It was a continuous sermon, on the text, "Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord and not unto man." For never did any man more habitually bring his religious principles into the daily practice of life; not by the continual introduction of

religious phraseology, but by a single hearted study to realise the Christian character. Dr. Arnold was remarkable for the uniform sweetness, the patience, and the forbearing meekness of his disposition. He was an innate Christian; the bad passions might almost be said to have been omitted in his constitution. But his truth and honesty were unflinchingly regardless of his own interest or of temporary consequences. As a writer, Dr. Arnold was remarkable for vigorous thought, clearness of expression, and purity of style. His edition of "Thucydides," and his (unfinished) "History of Rome," are works which will always hold a high place in our literature. Besides these, his Sermons and pamphlets on political subjects, and his recent publication of the Lectures delivered by him at Oxford in his capacity of Professor of Modern History in that Uuiversity, are evidences of his talents as a scholar and historian. We wish it could be allowed that as a divine of our Established Church Dr. Arnold was as eminent for sound theology as he was unquestionably candid in confessing his convictions, sincere in his professions of what he believed, and exemplary for the pious performance of his moral and devotional duties. That he was not correct in his theological opinions is too well known to those who remember and regret the pamphlet in which, among other objectionable propositions, Dr. Arnold recommended the admission of Dissenters of nearly every denomination into the pulpits of our parish churches! But for that pamphlet, and the storm it created among churchmen of all political views, there is little doubt that the late Dr. Arnold would have been promoted to the episcopal bench by the Whigs. Dr. Arnold was suddenly seized with Angina Pectoris, which carried him off in two hours. His father died of the same disease. His mortal remains were deposited in a vault under the altar in the chapel.

14. At Barnes, aged 72, Anselm John Griffiths, esq., Rear-Adm. of the White. This officer was a son of the late Rev. John Griffiths of Kingston-on-Thames. He entered the naval service as a midshipman on board the Juno frigate, com manded by Capt. James Montagu, in January 1781; obtained his first commission November 22, 1790; and after serving for some time as First Lieut. of
